That was sprayed out my normal cup sprayer. It sprayed great for a while and then was just spitting. Then I realized I had forgotten to turn on the compressor and had run out of air. Whoops! With the air back on it was good again.

I had never used Behr paint until today. I am getting along on my M37 restore and decided to add the two rear bumpers. They have been primed for over a year. Normally I use CGI paint and thin it to spray it. I do a fog coat and a second coat to paint. Stay in one spot too long and you get a...

Most people don't thin the paint but some add floetrol to help the paint laydown better. https://www.flood.com/products/paint-additives/floetrol-latex-based-paint-additive

What SETOYOTA said. The challenge is getting the guy working the paint computer to follow the directions. Here are some useful threads: https://sites.google.com/site/merdccamo/home/merdcpic https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?116608-Paint-Information-(Codes-and-Sources)/page3...

He is right. The screen is not the same. Buy a quart of the paint to play with.

24087 is the victim of several changes in FSC595 over the decades. David Doyle posted the details of the story back in 2007. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?14882-The-Skinny-on-24087 Well that link didn't work. Searching. Fixed now. 24084 is the match to the old 24087. Check...

Great info at that link. Looking at that, the HVLP gun with the 2.3 mm nozzle might be too big. I would think that the Behr paint would have more of a tendency to create a run rather than orange peel?

I think he means he can match the standard Behr codes. When we get these FS codes made up they consider them custom codes. HD can scan their bar code to match.

Just in case it helps out, I swung by the local HD and had them mix a quart. :-D

Is it just that color they can't find in Canada or any of the Federal Standard Code numbers? When I got my last paints done they could not find the flat version of what I wanted so we went with the semi-gloss number and used a flat base to mix with. Can they find FS 26118? To me that looks...

Just got back from getting a gallon. Here is the reminder:

Yeah after we struggled with the FS34079 he found the others I was looking for FS34102, FS34151, FS37038. I was getting the Behr Marquee Flat outdoor paint. This was a useful website: http://www.fed-std-595.com/FS-595-Paint-Spec.html

I had problems with Home Depot finding FS 34079 as well. I think that FS number was discontinued years ago. What we did was he looked up FS 24079 which he was able to find and then just use a flat base. Looks good to me. Here are the color examples.

Yep picked up three cans. Not an instant discount but a online / mail in rebate. Takes awhile but you will get a prepaid card in the mail.
